  1. Two immediate thoughts while watching that video: 1. Landscape! Stop holding the phones vertically people! 2. Why are you underneath the powerlines! Agggghh! (I realize this was not Ginx filming but rather whoever did- I assume it was this Scott P)
  2. 52f here. A couple of days ago it felt like maybe the back of summer had been broken. It definitely seems that way now. Chamber weather for days to come. Soon the leaves will need to be peeped at, I will get in a panic to get outdoor chores down prior to the freeze up, the GFS will flip from having a 942 hurricane at the end of every run to having a blizzard coming just inside the benchmark to finish each cycle, and someone will set up a thread for this year's Grinch storm.
  3. Don't forget the snow Sandy left in WV.
  4. More than understandable. You guys have it bad for tree damage these past few months. I hope everyone came out physically unscathed and "just" property damage! Did your fence come out of it unscathed this time?
  5. Was the wind's strength why the camera was always moving around? I was getting dizzy watching this. Wind for us maxed at about what I think is shown in this video. We were lucky and did not lose power at all which was surprising as prone as we are to power interruptions. Only blow downs were some tomato plants. (Same as with Irene interestingly enough) Even my broken maple which is snagged on other trees remained in its mostly upright position.
  6. He is in Tolland- they lose their power on a weekly basis. They probably will be without power and grilling everything in their freezers by noon.
  7. That would probably cause damage in Tolland.
  8. Sadly I was driving and did not have a camera with me. When we used to live in Peacham our house had long range views to the east down towards the CT River Valley and rainbows were a common sight for us. Now we are in a tight, mostly wooded valley so the trees usually block them at the house.
  9. Last night on the drive home from Rutland, I hit a downpour just to the east of Killington. After a couple of minutes I was out of it and the sun was soon out. The storm was going east at about the same rate I was. I was driving looking at one of the most intense colored rainbows I have seen lately. It was seldom a full arc but fantastic. The drive was beautiful with the late evening sun, the low white clouds in parts of the dark green forested valleys and the intensive contrast of the dark storm, spots of blue skies. 35 miles of bliss, the rainbow was still going when I got home. Signs of some washouts on the dirt roads near home and miraculously the broken maple caught up above the parking area at my house was still held by the other trees. I need that hurricane to come and save me some work.
  10. We have a colonial with a center staircase. With a window fan in one upstairs window opposite the front door, the cool air really works its way in for us. The elevation, early shade, and early sunset really help prevent the house getting too hot as well. So far that week in early July 2018 has easily been the worst in our 4 years in this house.
  11. After abandoning the sweater look, Powder Freak started wearing 70's suits and was elected mayor of Amity- which means friendship.
  12. It was 59 at the house when I went for my run at 5:15. Ran with a long sleeve tech shirt on.
  13. It looks like we have another line getting going here for CVT and NVT.
  14. Does the moose not know the need to have a mask while hiking for when you need to share the trail? Good thing you socially distanced yourself.
  15. Iowa Environmental Mesonet https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=84&sector=VT&src=mrms&opt=per&usdm=no&ptype=g&sdate=2020%2F07%2F01&edate=2020%2F07%2F23&cmap=RdBu&dpi=100&_fmt=png or In Ear Monitor if you are on a Springsteen bootleg site.
  16. I went from missing the first three storms by less than 5 miles to being grazed by the 4th to the 5th and 6th merging over me and getting water in the basement. My small pond went from nearly empty to full in an hour. I got a few grumbles of thunder but mostly with #3 which missed. No wind to speak of so my hung up maple still has not fallen all the way yet.

  18. Not to give too much away but I have on good authority that the focus of the movie will be on family. The story will focus on a woman (probably going back to her hometown for the holidays). She will meet a potential love interest- maybe even a former flame. Sadly there will be a misunderstanding and it appears that they will never get past it. Phew, they connect at the end just in time for Christmas morning to find that Santa has brought love and a puppy. Sadly Santa took the first batch of rain just to my south. Hopefully some showers for the garden later.
